Ruth Huke v. Trinity Industries, Inc.

This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. In this appeal, the employer asserts that the trial court erred in finding that the employee suffered any permanent partial disability and in awarding to the employee sixty-four (64%) percent permanent partial disability to the body as a whole as a result of an injury sustained during the course of her employment with Trinity Industries, Inc. We conclude that the evidence presented supports the findings of the trial judge and, in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated §50-6-225(e)(2), affirm the judgment of the trial court.
